You didn’t say what happens, but I think the flash player might also go out of fullscreen (i.e. close) when you move it to a non-visible workspace. There is http://deve.loping.net/projects/ignoflash/downloads/ which apparently patches flash to disable that behavior. Worth a try. Or using HTML5 video instead ;).Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:33:42 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2675/when-flash-player-fullscreen-move-to-another-window/?answer=2676#post-id-2676Comment by flylo for One of the flash player’s features is that it will drop out of fullscreen on a number of occasions, such as when moving the mouse pointer to a different monitor.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll have a look. It's not a huge deal though, was just me hacking about.
